So good. And like okay priced too. There's a student meal combo which is great, great bean rice burrito and the burrito bowl too so good. A little too much bell peppers in the bowl for my taste tho. Service: fire. Everyone is so nice

Carne Asada burrito with no Rice!
Rocio D.

We drove all the way from San Gabriel Valley to enjoy some burritos from La Sirena. They used to have a location in Irvine, but after it closed, we searched for another and found this spot! Upon arrival, we quickly noticed the typical Laguna Beach traffic, especially on a beautiful Saturday with clear blue skies. Despite the congestion, we were determined to reach our destination. After navigating the long traffic, we finally parked. I ordered a Carne Asada Burrito without rice, opting for just rice and beans, just the way I like it. (Fun fact: I prefer my burritos with all the beans' juice creating a creamy texture. If you prefer a drier burrito, you might want to get rice on the side.) My husband ordered a Carne Asada with Shrimp Burrito without rice, and it was equally delicious. The chips and salsa were just as delightful. The ambiance of this establishment is fantastic, offering open-air seating for those who want to enjoy the ocean breeze or indoor seating for those who prefer to avoid it. This location is just as good as the Irvine spot was. I would probably visit again on a weekday when it's less busy, but if you live nearby, why not give it a try?

Blackened Wild Salmon Salad
Laura Y.

Best Mexican food in Laguna Beach! The ingredients are so fresh and the portions are plentiful, especially the salads! We had the avo Lime Salad (carne asada), the blackened wild caught salmon salad, and two carne asada taco, and this was more food we could eat! We have never had so much avocados in our salads! The salad dressings and salsa are made fresh too! Loved that we could eat clean food, especially with the organic mixed greens, grass fed beef and wild caught salmon! The service was very fast and staff were very nice too. There are only two tables on-site and we were lucky to have a table available when our food was ready. The ambiance is very cozy, tucked away in the back streets, very local feel, as we could watch many locals, including students, stop by to orde and leave. We went there for lunch and ordered online for dinner yesterday (to grab and go). We are planning to eat there again today for lunch (grab and go eat at the beach). This place is a gem, not to mention that the prices are very reasonable. Finding quality fresh food/salads under $20 is rare these day.

Veggie Breakfast Burrito Green Chile Burrito

Staff was super kind and friendly. We got 2 breakfast burritos and they were both so so yummy! We'll definitely be coming back again after a morning hike.

Salmon taco, mahi mahi taco, asada taco
Cisca W.

Great place to grab a bite. Wonderful customer service. Pretty small place but they do have few tables outside. They have about 2 tables few steps up, next to their restaurant. They're familiar with allergies as I'm allergic to gluten and dairy, Tried their fish of the day which was mahi mahi taco, it's so good. Tried their salmon as well - they have a big piece of salmon. The size of their tacos are pretty good size and not tiny, Tortilla soup advised as gluten free as well, and omitted the cheese - very tasty and not spicy, just enough saltiness, not too salty. If you sat few steps up on the table facing the street, you'll get lovely Mountain View and just sense of calm. This place is away from the crowdedness of the Main Street.

Enchiladas

Great location to have yummy food with ocean view far away :) fresh and not expensive. I always come after my massage appointment in the same plaza.

Menu

Super fast Service. The portions are large. The food tastes great. They had a few booths and some seating outside but most of the seating were single bar chairs or small tables. Great beer menu (margaritas as well). I took family for lunch. Probably has a different vibe later in the day. Perfect spot for drinking with friends... lots of room to mingle and just chill. Order at the register and food delivered to the table. Salsa bar off to the side.

Great location! Right by the beach; fresh air and sunshine in the patio…read more Received warm complimentary chips with warm beans and salsa; so good! Beans taste homemade and traditionally made. Salsa had a little kick to it but not too spicy. Ordered the parrillada; the chicken was tender and moist. The shredded pork carnitas were crispy yet juicy. The steak was perfectly medium rare and tender to eat. Shrimp was cooked beautifully and firm. The corn was cold but it was still good! Came with a side of onions and jalapenos. The flour tortillas were taco sized. Great shareable plate for 2-3 people. Had the virgin margarita and it was one of the best virgin drinks I've had. Not just a bunch of sugar and soda water like other mocktails. It had freshly made syrups and with chunks of cucumbers. So refreshing!

We drove about 25 minutes to Carmelita because the posted hours said they were open until 10 PM. We…read morearrived around 9:30 PM, but the doors were already locked and we weren't able to get in We completely understand if the kitchen closes early or if there are reasons for closing before the posted time, but it was disappointing to make the drive only to find the restaurant closed 30 minutes before the listed closing time At the very least, it'd be helpful if the hours were updated to 9:30 so customers don't make the trip unnecessarily

Taco Stand never misses -- but just know this is not the exact same experience as the San Diego…read morelocations. The flavor profile here is definitely a bit smokier/charred compared to the Taco Stand spots down south, especially compared to La Jolla. There are slight variations in how some of the food is cooked and prepared, but it's not bad at all -- just different. If you come in expecting an exact replica, you may notice the differences. If you treat this location as its own thing, it's honestly really solid. Huge shoutout to Carlos at the register for the excellent customer service. We ordered food both for here and to-go, and everything was packed separately exactly how we asked. We also made a few modifications after placing the order, and Carlos went out of his way to track down our ticket and write the changes on it himself to make sure everything came out correctly. Food was still great, service was amazing, and we'd definitely come back again.

I've been to a different location before (La Jolla) and I think this location wasn't as good. I'm…read morenot sure what the difference was but the tacos weren't as flavorful especially when it came to the Carne Asada. At the La Jolla location you can see the staff making the tortillas + churros and this location the tortillas were packaged. I'm not sure if they use the same ingredients but this could have changed the flavor profile. They were still yummy don't get me wrong but they just weren't as good as I remember them. I ordered chips and guac as well and the staff forgot to include it in my order so I had to go up to the counter another time which was quite a hassle given it's a very busy restaurant with the line out the door the entire time I was there. The salsa selection is rather nice especially when most restaurants are trying to cut down on salsa options + use the lower quality ingredients. You can tell the ingredients in the salsas were high + they even have a few creamy options which is hard to see at most Mexican restaurants these days. I do think the guac was a little limey but it wasn't bad when you added it to the tacos. If you go I would recommend you go with zero expectations of eating inside as there are about 5-6 tables + waiting a long time for your food. The beach is 10 steps away so you can always take your food to the beach too!

Going down the list of dishes I tried here: -Miso Garlic Noodles: Solid and good flavor. Nothing special and overpriced for what they were. -Avocado Wontons: These were interesting. It was like a vegan poke only that it's watermelon. Not bad, but the 'wontons' weren't actual wontons. -Ahi Poke Stack: Solid poke and I enjoyed the creamy avocado. Also a bit overpriced considering the portion size. -Matcha Martini: Pretty disappointing. Couldn't really taste any matcha. Only tasted like a sweet and creamy cocktail. -Chilaquiles: Overall enjoyable. I liked the crispy chips. However, the servers forgot my eggs which was annoying, but they brought it out later with an additional egg. -Crispy Fried Calamari: Tasty and I liked the sauce. Calamari wasn't the greatest quality itself though. Service was pretty slow and the servers seemed to forget many details when taking orders which caused service delays wasn't optimal. The interior was decent and not dirty. For parking, there's a good amount located at and around the Pavilions parking lot. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back here again. It just seemed like a standard chain restaurant. It is located walking distance from the beach though.
